Well, we have just found out we are pregnant with our first child. We had planned to start trying but not put pressure on ourselves and see how we went. I stopped the OCP at the beginning of July and had my first period on 14 July. No idea on the length of my cycles so wasn't too concerned when my period didn't arrive after 28 days. A few days later still no period so I thought i'd better do a test, it came up positive and I could not believe it! I think that we are still both in a state of shock, 5 weeks today! We are both 31 and thought things may take a little while and i'm not sure i've had enough time to prepare! I feel scared but incredibly excited. Having worked as an ED nurse and seen many many miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies, I am trying not to get too attached. I bought a book as I feel like i know nothing and that has helped me to get some things straight. Went to see the local GP who was less than useless, all he did was refer me to midwives. I called the birth centre and have an appointment there on 3/9 for a chat and a look around. The midwife told me about a nuchal test for down's syndrome risk, think I will have it being over 30 and seeing as it is non invasive. Other than that just taking things easy. Cant say that I really feel pregnant (the 3 positive tests tell me otherwise!), have no symptoms but had been feeling incredibly tired. Sure that more symptoms will develop in time, not that I am wishing any of the yukky ones! Told our parents the news yesterday, wasn't sure whether to tell them so early but thought that if anything happened we would need their support so that they had a right to know. Our families are in the UK and we have just moved to a new state and I have to say it is a pretty lonely time right now! Everything is new and scary but also very exciting!
